About The Project

Discord bot created in Python using discord.py. The bot can create custom lists using the ?list command and stores those lists in MongoDB. Those lists can also be deleted using the command ?delete. Bot returns 1 random item from the selected list when command ?random is used.

The project is now in the beta version. This is the first working version that I am using on my Discord server to randomize drop location in Call of Duty: Warzone. It is currently working, but error handling should be updated and new features can be added. This was a fun project to use on my Discord, but I have decided to share it with others. I am currently hosting the bot as well, so you can also invite the bot to your server instead of running it on your own.

Built With

• Python
• MongoDB

Getting Started

Download the repository and create the MongoDB Atlas database. More details in the Installation section.

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• Following Python modules are needed. I recommend installing them with pip:
  • discord
  • pymongo
  • asyncio
  • dnspython
• MongoDB Atlas - There is free database option. I am currently using following DB structure "bot.lists", which is also part of the code in commands.py. It can be changed there:

  db = clientDB.bot
  collection = db.lists
  

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/karlji/RandBot-Discord-Randomizer.git
   

2. Create Discord bot on Discord Developer Portal & store the bot token to tokens.py
   • 
3. Create MongoDB Atlas cluster with DB structure "bot.lists", Document structure visible below, add IP adress of your bot machine, copy "connection string" to tokens.py
   • 
   • 
4. Run randbot.py
5. Create OAuth2 link on Discord Developer Portal. Options "bot" and "send messages" should be enough. This link can be used to invite bot to Discord servers.
